Quicken 2001 Printing Help/Possible Upgrade

Hi.

I have Quicken 2001 Basic. When I got my new computer, I went from
Windows XP to Vista. Since then, I am unable to print any registers.
Everytime I try to print, I get the following error message:

Could Not Open Printer. Check Your Printer Selection.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

If not, which Quicken 2009 software can I get that I will be able to
transfer all of my existing Quicken data over to. I do not use the online
options so the cheapest option would be more than enough.

Thank you.

Quicken 2001 likely will only accept the printer selected as default in
Start|Printers. Check that a printer is set as default.

Ebay has Quicken 2009 for sale for around $25. I would suggest the deluxe
version, not the premier or home and business.

Generally Quicken does not use the default system printer. In Quicken go to
File Menu>Printer Setup>. Then set printer for "Reports, Checks, etc". Of
course the printer you want to use must be installed on system. A few years
ago there were many printers that did not have Vista drivers. Go to the
manufacturers web site to get the latest drivers for your printer.
